Contradiction with Matthew 6:33
This verse advises seeking the kingdom of God and righteousness first, promising that all these things shall be added unto you, which contrasts the concern for material needs expressed in Matthew 6:32.
Matthew 6:33: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction or conflict could be the idea that while the verse suggests focusing on spiritual needs rather than material ones, it might seem inconsistent when considering other teachings that encourage taking care of one's physical and material needs or responsibilities. This might create tension between prioritizing spiritual pursuits and ensuring practical, everyday necessities are met.
